yes, you have to go in :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\976730\2913334647\maps

copy all the files there in it, from tkis one ; 00a_introduction.map
to this one : 08b_deltacontrol.map

then you go in :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo2\h2_maps_win64_dx11

and paste and replace the files

for me it works well.

by the way thanks for the develpper for this very polished mod, it's a pleasure for us to play !!

Anybody know how to make it playable on anniversary graphics?

Just completed a Legendary playthrough. Overall this is a great rebalance. Took me a little bit of time to adjust to the updated sandbox and encounters, but once I did I found it a very enjoyable mod.

I would like to make another bug report. At the end of the game after the "after credits" cutscene the game just stays at the black screen and doesn't go back to the menu. Nothing major that a simple "Save & Quit" can't fix, but still thought I should report it :).

Thanks again for updating this mod! Was always one of my favorites back into the day and am super excited it to have it back!

Not sure about anyone else, but I felt Cairo Station wasn't as well balanced as the rest of the mod. Overall this is a great rebalance, just Cairo Station felt overly hard and more like vanilla Legendary compared to the other levels.

I also noticed a small glitch on Outskirts. The Elite "piloting" the stationary gun isn't near the control panel. he's instead floating a few feet to side in mid-air XD.

one of the best rebalanced mods out there. It keeps crashing though. Hope it gets a fix.

nice to see the mod make a comeback, though the mod seems to fatal error intermittently for no reason

Ho-ly Shit. You're back. Really missed this mod and really thankful you revived this mod, its my favorite halo 2 rebalance.

This mod has been rebuilt using the MCC Halo 2 Mod Tools (instead of manual editing via Assembly), and is now available again. Enjoy!

Does the mod work now?

343 broke the best mod, burn the heretic!

The Prophets allowed the Brutes to wield the Original Plasma Rifle after the Schism because the Elites we're thrown out of command, No?

mod is not showing for some odd reason

343 loves mods
SniperCursed Dec 16, 2023 @ 6:52pm 
The mod's not showing up guys because it needs to be updated. The mod creator is not going to do so.

Mod's dead

Guys, How to understand that mod is working? There is no custome game in halo 2 when I should choose original campaign or others. Does it still work?
De'VonGottaGun Aug 2, 2023 @ 6:48am 
The author said on nexus he's not updating it, but releasing the tools for anyone interested in doing so
StrobaCat Jul 27, 2023 @ 7:29pm 
Guys, tbiesty knows the mod needs a update but it doesnt have the time to update it atm
Idk when he will have the time to update it but meanwhile you guys have to wait.
narrva Jul 27, 2023 @ 7:26pm 
It's not showing up in MCC even though I subscribed.
ThunderStruck115 Jul 25, 2023 @ 12:52pm 
How do I install it? I subscribed and loaded into CC with EAC disabled but nothing's changed.

Pretty good mod, makes the council chamber section on Gravemind much more tolerable and fair than the original. Current version crashes in the tunnel section on Metropolis
Big Boss Jul 16, 2023 @ 9:27am 
Update please
StrobaCat Jul 12, 2023 @ 8:57pm 
update?
VonHamerling Jun 30, 2023 @ 4:48pm 
Really enjoying the mod, but it consistently crashes at the end of the tunnel section in Metropolis. As you approach the exit that leads to the outdoor area.
litbeep May 27, 2023 @ 2:17pm 
Can't get past the end of the tunnels on Metropolis. Seems to crash every time.
haxandrew May 13, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
A previous comment made mention of this, but does this mod force you to play in original graphics? Anyone else have input of this? Any fix?
REEEcesPieces May 13, 2023 @ 2:42am 
Holy shit the amount this improves h2 is massive, small details like these are why I've never rated halo 2 as high as the other bungo games despite it having my favourite story, music, charachters and in anniversary my favourite art style. But the inbalance that makes so many of the missions feel restricitve in aproach viability, drawn out and impossible to play in the fun ways YOU want to with the sandbox because there is SO MUCH bs that happens. Halo 2 has the worst gameplay in my opinion bar 343's halo 5, maybe tied with halo 4 and this mod adresses so many of the gripes that make that so for me. Big fan, would love to perhaps see another mod for you that stays less authentic and really tries to go for some big rebalancing to add diversity and fun in how to aproach and play across the game and its encoutners because you clearly understand the core well! :)
StrobaCat Apr 26, 2023 @ 6:58pm 
i still get destroyed but good work with the brutes lol finally some good balance
Sentient Grandma Mar 7, 2023 @ 12:07am 
Also, the game crashes consistently on metropolis at the end of the tunnel sequence. It only seems to happen on legendary. Don't know if it's something on my end or if you even intend to come back to this mod, but there it is.
crazyadam96 Feb 16, 2023 @ 11:18am 
I noticed that this version dissabless subtitles during gameplay that were introduced in recent updates of MCC. Any plan on reimplementing them?
おにじま Jan 27, 2023 @ 11:38pm 
Halo 2 Anniversary hasn't had major balance hotfixes since launch, but this community mod fixes 2A Legendary balance. Honestly I think 343 Industries should hire you. Good Job! Tbiesty and thank you fixed Legendary balance. :cozybethesda:

I cant tell the difference you get slaughtered just as easily.
blake Jan 8, 2023 @ 9:16pm 
Apparently this workshop version prevents you from using anniversary graphics, I tested your nexus version and it allows me to use said graphics from there.
ReachTea Jan 7, 2023 @ 5:54pm 
Took your time :caster_happy:
enjoyed this mod very much, definitely makes Legendary actually fun in H2!
Tbiesty  [author] Jan 7, 2023 @ 3:42am 
It can be played on any difficulty.
ryanbailes06 Jan 6, 2023 @ 6:30pm 
can this mod be played on any difficulty or only legendary
Tbiesty  [author] Jan 6, 2023 @ 2:58pm 
I think that's a current limitation of Steam Workshop (since if you use NexusMods to load this mod, the anniversary graphics are available). As far as I can tell, currently all the Steam Workshop Halo 2 mods can only use classic graphics.
That said, I posted in this discussion, https://steamcommunity.com/app/976730/discussions/3/3768982992498107288/ , to see if there's a way to enable it.
CRAZYGREG0511 Jan 6, 2023 @ 1:42pm 
Your mod doesn't seem to allow the anniversary graphics. Unless a certain file is required to be uploaded? SO far this mods title doesn't seem to live up to the name and that may be the workshops fault.
Tbiesty  [author] Jan 6, 2023 @ 11:45am 
If enough players want that specific helmet changed back, I could certainly do that. It was just fairly obvious from the scenario tags that the character is supposed to be a zealot; the squad tag is "maus_inner_elite_zealot".
lil carmine Jan 6, 2023 @ 8:03am 
the last enemy as onyx warrior says isnt a zealot its a high councillors
Fallen Legacy Jan 6, 2023 @ 2:26am 
i may be a nitpicker here..

But The guy at the end of gravemind is supposed to be one of the last Sangheili high councillors in the city however, thats the right helmet and armor. thats why he's the last one to come out of the doors to the level end

Good to see this finally on the workshop!
